Hos6:7 But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously against Me.
Hos6:8 Gilead is a city of wrongdoers, Tracked with bloody footprints.
Hos6:9 And as raiders wait for a man, So a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they have committed crime.
Hos6:10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; Ephraim's harlotry is there, Israel has defiled itself.
Hos6:11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, When I restore the fortunes of My people.
